I often goto bed and cry. Pretty holistic
I go for wet cupping, and m very satisfied with the results:)
Please stop 👏 perpetuating 👏 these 👏 hack 👏 remedies 👏. If someone does this, gets a horrible infection, you people are liable.
@@rumblefish9 Nobody is telling anyone to try it at home and if they do it's their responsibility, not the channels

Her voice did change. She sounds congested for sure
Yah i think the mucous came out thru her mouth and its just clogging there
She needs a holistic vocal coach
@@yamm9037 LMFAOOOO 💀
Yam m I’m dying
Perfect one liner
@@yamm9037 HAHAHAHA what a holistic comment
she really just sniffed nail polish remover and thought we would be shook
Inhle Cele 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lamb... it's not even that bad tho
Her face was totally relaxed. I could never!!
Yeah it's not impressive it's dangerous if you do it enough times
@@ihavetopowerofgodandanimeo2551 Im addicted to the smell of it lol
Isn’t sniffing the nail polish remover ... dangerous for you regardless if you still have a sense of smell?
Nicole Wong yeah lol I guess it was to make a point
I used to get high on it
it burns your neurones
@@Sam-cy9tm are you kidding dude?
Lol you’re right! sniffing acetone (in most nail polish removers) is not good at all. It’s a very strong irritant to the respiratory system.
Why are people obsessed with putting oils in all their orifices
The ghee in the eyes is like the most relaxing video ever
Because it works silly. Better than people who are obsessed with typing shit on the Internet.
@@kaypandey7221 Is that meant to be ironic and lack self-awareness or?
Kay Rai Your comment literally makes no fucking sense.
Joneisha Sams don’t be rude to them. They’re just sharing their opinion that doesn’t hurt anyone.
Ok but really, go to a doctor. My mom couldn't smell for a while either and ended up having a MRSA infection in her nasal passageways.
That’s crazy. I hope your mom is ok !
That or clinical depression could cause the loss of smell. Seeing a doctor is a good idea either way
@@quinnc134 Can it really? That's wild. I'll have to bring that up to my doc. Any idea why?
quinnc134 that US some next level pseudo science bullshit. Mentall illness, including depression, can have a physical impact on the body...but it can't cause you to lose your entire sense of smell. Where did you hear this nonsense??
pretty sure she did. You can't really get these specific nasal sprays over the counter.
I’m anosmic (since birth, no sense of smell) and I can still “feel” alcohol, acetone, mint etc in my nose. I wonder why she can’t
Thank god I'm not the only one. My mom would look at me crazy when I say that.
I have this as well! Peppermint and bleach are the only things that I can "smell"
Honestly maybe she just ignored the feeling? Because I'm pretty sure everyone can feel it whether they can smell or not.
"feeling" for it isnt as developed since this is a fairly recent issue for her. Same way the newly blind wud be terrified vs how someone born blind can be so well adjusted.
Can you taste the food you eat even if dont have ur sense of smell??
This seems and sound really relaxing, but all I can think is how uncomfortable it would be lathered up in so much oil.
Ikr I'd feel so gross and greasy
I got massaged by oils and at least 5 Litre's of oil was used on my body and trust me it feels divine because the massage makes toxins come out of your body and you feel very relaxed and peaceful
@@arpitajoshi3356 Oils don't make toxins dissappear...
@@lawabidingcitizen5153 they don't make it disappear actually toxins are secreted through oils from our body , its a whole procedure done by ayurvedic doctors also called as panchakarma. You can also search out the name and you will get answers 😊
Even in the video itself she massaged the pressure points with oil and the clogged mucus came out through her nose and mouth .
@@arpitajoshi3356 A massage won't make toxins dissappear, at most toxins from the skin, which if at all only has short term effects, anything more is placebo
Her voice did change. She was more nasal before
I know someone who lost their sense of smell because brain fluid was leaking from their skull. Go to an ENT doctor and have them do some scans... like wtf is some nasal spray going to do? You can't even get the REALLY effective stuff without getting a prescription anyways lol
miss beryl brain fluid, wait like brain juice?
(And you’re a Mom? )☝️
🤦♂️🤷♂️
PERIODT 👁️👄👁️
her docter probably told her it was just allergies LMFAO-
She said she tried a bunch of different nasal sprays, I bet some of them were prescription
I'm really confused as to why she went to a glorified spa instead of seeing a doctor. Like, I'm glad it seemed to help her, but it didn't seem to actually address what the root cause might have been so there's a chance it might come back.
Linda Televangelista because sometimes a doctor will dismiss it if it’s not seen as a big deal
Aaliyah Cabrera Right, i’ve had that done to me before. Besides, most doctors are interested in prescribing meds🙄
It appears the root of the problem was taken care of; Drainage of lymphatic blockages. She stated that she's tried everything and every nasal spray.
I am fully in support of Western Medicine. It saves lives. However, a prescription drug and nasal spray is what a physician would likely give.
Nowadays, more and more people, including Top Scientists and Doctors are in favor of combining both modern medical Western medicine along with a holistic approach.
Her job just offered it to her, she was just down to try it out. She didn’t go out of her to look for a glorified spa lmao.
This maybe be more natural as apposed to a doctor they only shove pills and refer you to a specialist who will only charge you alot more 😩
I couldn't smell for 2 years and doctors kept saying it was just a cold. I eventually had to go to the emergency room due to an extremely painful sinus headache. After a CT scan, I found out I had chronic sinusitis. Using a humidifier, netty pot and nasal spray I can manage it. I cried when I could smell again. It's horrible not being able to smell for so long.
What nasal spray do you use? I’ve used a humidifier and netty pot for 2 yrs but still no smell
4yers I have no smell 😞
@@jockerbroo7201 Some doctors have found a potential cure, Metairie Pain says cure possible for list sense of smell
Did anyone else desperately want a massage after watching her get one 🤤
Meee!!😂 heck I almost fell asleep just watching it
Meeee 😭
My touch starved ass always wants a massage
YES.
Ana Clara 😂😂
I mean it's interesting but going to a doctor??? 🤔
Most of the time even when you go to a ENT they say there isn’t anything to do, especially after having it for so long and there hasn’t been a change. My mom has the same thing but it happened after she was sick
Yes, a friend of mine became anosmic after being sick with a strong cold more than 3 years ago. She has seen many doctors. All of them said: there Is nothing to do about.
@@summerrussell9422 So you go to someone with ZERO proof that it works instead? Well that's smart. Why not go to another specialist? You're making it worst putting oil than better. Worst you could get an infection. If you want to stick something up your nose, why not use a saline solution.
I had this so many many years before doctors could actually diagnosis it. I had a very strong type of sinuous and I presume she had the same thing. Many of the nerves in my nose died which meant I lost a lot of my sense of smell. I ended up having a surgery. It was painful, the recovery was long and it's possible it may have returned. I'd 100% do this instead. And I think I will after watching this 😂👌
@@rumblefish9 She probably went to multiple ENTs. After a while you get to the point that you will try anything. Besides, I didn't see anything dangerous. Oils in the nose won't hurt you, in fact it get used in medical contexts. The body is not that fragile.
People keep suggesting she just go to a doctor and to be honest even when I’ve been very congested and I’ve had this recurring cough for months now when I go to my primary clinic they’re just like mucinex and that’s all they have to say and they don’t check for anything. I think modern medicine really needs to take note from alternative medicine this concept of actually listening to patients for more than 2 seconds
Oh this 100% and doctors expect you to be able to completely describe everything that's wrong with you very quickly
Doctors listen for 14 seconds before interrupting the patient, they did a study on it
Andromeda I 100% agree. I’ve been dealing with SEVERE allergies. Causing bloody snot and bloody mucus draining to the back of my throat. They say nasal spray. I’ve gotten more relief from using steam and salt and warm water. Of course using all of that WITH the nasal spray has helped. But not just spray alone? And she literally was like “I’m not going to prescribe anything for allergies YET” when I’ve been dealing with this for over 6 months. Like wtf? I have swelling and pain in my sinuses. I live in Maine and the air is incredibly dry. They also wanted me to buy a fuckin air purifier. Like people can just go out and buy shit like that. Would have been nice to get something for allergies instead of all this over the counter shit. But I have gone back to natural stuff like the steam and salt water and stuff like that. It works really really well. And that wasn’t suggested to me by my doctor. I read about it online. I’ve already had a CT scan done, a full blood work up. And the whole nine yards. Including being treated with strong antibiotics. That insurance wouldn’t pay for ! Lol. So the doctor isn’t always the best. And for all we know she could have gone and tried many different things. She did mention trying a few other things that didn’t work very well. Sinus shit definitely sucks and for anyone struggling with that I hope you get well soon!!!!
@@Haazziee I've had your symptoms but it was from withdrawal after I ran out of SSRIs
pigglet and pooh bear I’m curious about that. Does that include like Ativan???
Go to an ENT and check for nasal polyps!
What is that?
Nasal polyps are small masses that grow in your nasal passage and obstruct the flow of air, mucus etc. They make you snore too. (Right?)
Oh so we have quacks commenting here??
@@kaypandey7221 quacks? ENTs or Otolaryngologists are trained medical doctors who obtain a medical degree. They're required to have 15 years of schooling to gain their state license (at least in the US). Their practice is backed by the anatomy and physiology of the body as well as research/EBP.
peachy keen Pay them no mind, they’ve been arguing with other people on comments
This methods are using traditionally in Sri Lankan homes. When we are ill our mothers did this things and we got better. 😀
It’s done in India too
My dads sri lankan I'll ask him of my gran ever did this to him. She was to old to do much with me when I was born sadly
@@gayatrikalia6839 Ayurveda is Indian Medicine so obviously
2:06 I thought she put chips on the floor lol
That was the trick to check if the procedure worked 🤣
Yeah, I was like,
"Why the fuck did this lady put some crisps on the floor lmao"
Same
Wait- they’re not chips
I want a eucalyptus tent 🏕
+gemmasalmon Same!
Gemma Salmon try putting eucalyptus in your shower. The steam from the warm water is amazing
Chloe Sheler Great idea! I actually bought a ‘shower bomb’ the other week (same as a bath bomb but obviously you put it in the bottom of your shower), it had lavender and other lovely scents. A bottle of eucalyptus oil will definitely last me a lot longer! 🧐
Chloe Sheler Please don’t do that.
Jotaro Kujo why not? What are the bad side effects of this?
I've have anosmia my whole live... turns out it's related to a zinc deficiency. When I regularly take zinc, my sense of smell definitely improves!
How many milligrams do you drink?
. Taking zinc tablets or zinc contained foods, what is advisable?
@@jockerbroo7201 food is best. tablets can be really hard on your stomach and will make you super nauseous. I take zinc drops mixed with other drinks... doesn't taste good but is really well absorbed that way!
Thanks. 🌸🌹
This was so relaxing to watch! Felt like I was there.
Thank you so much R29 for letting me try this procedure! I legit feel like I can smell better now! 👃
Just curious, are you still able to taste things? Whenever I lose my sense of smell (like when I get a really bad cold), I also lose my sense of taste.
You definitely sound less congested. I wish there was somewhere near me that does this. I have been dealing with congestion, ear infections, and blockage for most of my adult life and really sucks. When it get unbearable I have to go to a doctor and they just say here take theses meds. No one actually wants to talk about it or really solve the problem. I am willing to try anything at this point.
@@autiger509 Yeess This happened a lot. I was losing my taste tbh. Now I can smell the food I'm eating and it's a lot more enjoyable. I feel like we associate smells with how something will taste so it made a big difference!
@@Hamlet12341 Hey! So something you can do is even use essential oils in a diffuser. That and trap it like the tent we used in the vid or even in the shower. I wasn't aware of this until after my treatment I 100% recommend it. It even like opened my throat?!
@ilargitxo2 I have gone to the doctor in the past for my lymph nodes because you could see them (that's how swollen they were) and they just gave me a numbing mouthwash pretty much. I was told by Martha that this is all tied in with what was going on with my nose and sinus in general. They legit didn't really do anything for me or give me any info.
I hope she did this after getting a check up from you know... Doctors that can rule out things like tumors, infections and so on not just Chakra blockage.
This seems really relaxing tho
+nicolewong It really does!!
I definitely would do this for relaxation purposes
I agree
I seriously love how refinery29 edits their videos lol it’s so relaxing to see
Use a Neti pot...also, make sure you don’t have cancer..
Everything looked really calming but oh that oil in the nose?! Man I bet that tickled! Made me rub my nose!
You can definitely lose your sense of smell due to stress. I just lost mine about a week ago. It's been the weirdest experience. Stress is a very serious matter and shouldn't be taken lightly. .💯
I know I am three months late, but one of covid main symptoms is loss of taste and or smell so be careful
I love Martha's yellow wrap dress. It's gorgeous! I also find her voice soothing, nearly put me to sleep
Come on let’s be honest...I don’t think she “really” got her sense of smell back...
lol i get most of these treatments from my indian mother whenever i have a cold or something... some of these can be effective, namely inhaling steam, massage the face when you have lots of sinus congestion, ghee drops in the nose are sometimes helpful for me.. also i read about using an electric toothbrush and moving it over your jaw and cheekbone to help mucus in your sinuses loosen up & sometimes that works. of course with someone having such severe and chronic congestion i think this is maybe some nice symptomatic relief but definitely not sufficient. aryuveda is not really proven medical treatment & i get the appeal (especially when doctors can be dismissive about this stuff) but i hope she can see an ENT and maybe identify a cause & treat it
Yeah maybe it has something to do with huffing acetone...
I kept catching myself doing the breathing with her lol
+cat. LOL!!
I just want to say I absolutely love this channel. Refinery 29 you guys do a great job keep up the great work in the diverse and variety of content.
"I lost my sense of smell!?"
Me: *She Definitely has the Rona*
It can happen due MRSA (or somethin like that) or when brain fluid leaks. It's very rare but unfortunate at the same time.
RONA CO
My grandad has lost his sense of smell he's in his 80s something to do with a neruological problem somewhere in his brain it has fustrated him for so many years but he's accepted if in his old age.
I didn't know this was an option for congestion, it looks so relaxing.
Obviously go to the doctor, but if this spa was included I'd probably go more often lol
I totally wish I could try this type of treatment!
Ugh I’m jealous this is so soothing 🥺
Thanks so much for zooming into the mucus 🙌 fave part of the video
getlowpapoose this is sarcasm right 😂
It’s very aesthetically pleasing and satisfying but I’m iffy about whether or not this is truly safe/helpful
I’ve never heard of such a procedure. Sounds interesting 😍
Thank you for sharing. This looks amazing and effective. My Mom struggles with not being able to smell. She has gone to many doctors, with no relief. I will share this with her. I was relaxed just watching. The massage was everything,
+peaceoflife Thank you for taking the time to watch!
I have that problem too. I can't smell certain strong smells. I've been in places that serve lots of alcohol and was unaffected. It seemed that even my grandmother had a better sense of smell than I did because she noted said smells while I just shrugged it off.
I need more relaxing natural videos like this :(
And I'm over here scared of putting on Vaseline
why are you scared of vaseline?
I definitely want to try this
Did you loose your sense of smell in 2020? I haven't seen all the messages so this might have been suggested already. Could this have been Covid? The holistic experience it looks amazing. I love the knowledge the lady has about herbs, oils, sounds... Total treat!
Okay but that steam thing with the sweating sounds real nice for congestion. Especially with the eucalyptus leaves.
How did she live for two years without the smell of Cinnabon
Beautiful technique
Girl you need to go to an ent it could be chronic sinusitis. I lost most of my sense of smell from that. Got it treated and it’s back
My sinusitis is cured, it wasn't chronic, but I lost sense of smell partially.
Hey I was cured by Dr Ehisz on CZcams after 6 months I lost my taste and smell, search for him on CZcams he will cure you too!
who's here because they lost their sense of taste/smell due to covid 😔
Ugh me
Me😭😭😭
Me....so want to smell normal again! She mentioned that she’s glad not to smell garbage but I really want to smell garbage again....is that bad??!!
Not me, but I feel sad for the people who followed all precautions but still caught corona for the people who were walking around in the streets for no reason.
@@aflower6955 I caught Covid-19 because I work in retail and we weren't allowed to enforce masks because that "was bad customer service" like wth. Sick of people and their "freedom" infringing on my freedom to breathe. Four months of pneumonia hell.
I think the problem is nasal sprays. After 5 days those nasal sprays start drying the mucosa and make artificial clogging in the nose. It would turn okay after two or three weeks after if she doesn't use it. Some doctors do not say that but never use anticongestive nasal sprays more than 5 days.
Your so freaking pretty and your teeth are just gorgeous
Her face is wonderful with and most especially without makeup ❤️
This is so relaxing 🙏
this must be sooo relaxing
Looks like a nice massage! I have my sense of smell but I’ll never say no to a massage
can I do this just for fun? looks so relaxing
Sure, I got acupuncture, $500 a pop, definitely relaxing. A bit hard on the wallet, this seems similar. You can do a lot of these massages yourself, look up lymph massage.
Wow I need this amazing lady with magical hands In my life 😱❤️
This looks relaxing 😌
This lady seems legit better than the doctors anymore we need more people like her
Ol but like it looks so relaxing
+georgias. Right?!
I am happy that she can smell again!
This seems soo relaxing..I wanna try it
I lost my sense of smell a few years ago and have gone to a doctor for a medical procedure but unfortunately it hasn’t helped. Mine happened a few days after a concussion, had anyone experienced this? Any advice is welcome. I have an 18 month old baby that I would love to smell. And also, it can be dangerous.
Loved the close up of her spit water nice touch 👌
Overall it’s great what she did! 💖🙌
My mom and my grandma used to do the eucalyptus thing when I was congested with a cold
I watched this video 3 times. So relaxing. I would love to have this treatment. Nothing wrong with my sniffers
though😀
This looks super relaxing and pampering, plus she did sound alot clearer after the treatment
I need this !!!
It would be cool to see an Orbital/Conch Piercing take place because I'm thinking about getting one and also I want to know the aftercare.
I need this treatment ASAP...
Wow. Awesome.
I’ve done the Chinese version lol. Uncle made me do it when I was cold/flu-ish. I definitely felt better and wanted to just sleep afterwards
My sense of smell is pretty bad compared to my family’s and friends so when I was really into nail polish, my room smelled strongly of nail polish and acetone.
I never noticed. Everyone else did..
Me too.
I have Covid right now and I’m terrified my smell and taste won’t come back
same
It will, and then it's exciting because everything tastes and smells better than you remember it. I didn't completely lose my smell and taste, so I ate spicy food, and the only thing I could smell was super fishy cat food. It was awesome once I could taste and smell pleasant things again.
@@jessicah3450 hey, how long did it take for iy to come back? It's been 2 months for me.
I want to try this
Wonder if this helps if you have chronic sinusitis & allergies. If so, I want to try it.
Lost my smell due to nasal polyps. I had to have surgery. I’d suggest seeing an ENT...
I could seriously use this.
Very good mam ... U took very good step for Ayurveda and day by day everyone is educating themselves although u have put only single dot of Ayurveda... It very big written by god according to the Indian philosophy.....
Thumbs up....
Love this
I have a terrible sense of smell and can still smell mint, spices, whatever food my mum is cooking at 3 AM...I wonder why she can’t? Why did she loose her sense of smell so suddenly? For me, it’s always been this way.
“For the steam I use water”
Lol… for real though this looks awesome.
When my nasal passages get internally dry I get “simply saline” in the gel form and use a filtered syringe and place it in my nostrils...I would put about 3 ml in each nostril separately, then “sniff” it back to my nasal passages...my dr recommended it. And it helps. I don’t have this issue anymore. I feel like this treatment is kinda similar to it
At least the saline you're using is sterile. You can't really be guaranteed if that oil was sterile.
I like how one of my recommendations is another video abt loss of smell but w a real doctor instead
my aunt lost her smell and taste after a severe head injury.. hope she has done a brain scan recently
Nice massage
Wow this so good
i dont even lose my sense of smell but god i want this massage it looks so relaxing dlsjdkfjdkslldjd
i've seen so much doctors because i have trouble smelling and breathing with my nose, and some have said i need an operation, some said they don't know and some say I'm making it up. Don't know at this point :/
My sister ended up losing her sense of smell after she got the flu. She cant smell but she can feel pressure or pain in her head if theres a strong odor around her. I don't know if this treatment would help her tho.
honestly, i wouldn’t even care if it worked for my sinuses or not. it just looked so damn relaxing. 😌😌
This is interesting 😳
Any treatment for hyposmia like this in india pls provide details
I have something similar to this and it’s called parosmia. Parosmia is when you can smell things but they no longer smell the same as they use to and they usually smell terrible and super gross like dead meat or fish or rotten material and I’ve had it for ab a year. I’ve been wondering if this would help me
Many of these places she massages were the same points that my acupuncturist used. It definitely helped me relax. You definitely don't want to inhale oil into your sinuses and lungs though. It will mess up the cilia which cleans the air you breathe and removes mucus. Just swab a small amount on the sides of your nostrils.
Hey I was cured by Dr Ehisz on CZcams after 6 months I lost my taste and smell, search for him on CZcams he will cure you too!
